Can you create a gcore.tar.bz2 file like you did with the last
patch-set?

I will write up a new entry on the "extensions" page on my people
site here: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/extensions.html

Since the module has so many files, I'll put a link to the
gcore.tar.bz2 file, instructions on how to set it up, etc,
in the description of gcore.  In fact, I've already done that
on a scratch page here:

  http://people.redhat.com/anderson/extensions2.html

Thanks,
  Dave
